Your List: The first item to consider when you’re attempting to use a newsletter as a network marketing strategy is the distribution list for the newsletter. This is very critical because you want to ensure that you are sending your newsletter or ezine to subscribers who will be interested in your products and services and will likely view the newsletter or ezine as valuable instead of viewing it as spam.
Using deceiving tactics to harvest email addresses and/or mailing out your newsletter blindly to a large audience is a bad marketing strategy. This strategy is not worthwhile for for the following reasons. Most importantly, this type of tactic doesn’t reach your your target demographics. You may reach some people accidentally, however, you probably won’t come up with a large readership of your targeted demographic.
Another problem is that when you’re, sending your ezine or newsletter unsolicited to a large audience with no interest in your services and products this will likely result in your ezine or newsletter being flagged as spam. This can have more serious results than simply being a wasted effort. Specifically, recipients of your ezine may block your domain or even report you to their Internet service provider as a spammer. This could have far reaching results such as loss of business or even stricter penalties.
What should you do? A good way to establish a distribution list for your ezine is to set up an autoresponder form for interested readers to register to be emailed news from you. The various ways could include registering at your website and asking to be added to your email distribution list or providing an email address and/or requesting to be added to your ezine or newsletter in some other manner.
Sending your newsletter or ezine to subscribers who have requested more information is a good idea because these users are interested in your service or products and are likely to appreciate the ezine instead of viewing it as spam.
The content of your newsletter or ezine is the next thing to consider. This may include the actual information within the ezine as well as graphics, links and ads. Keeping direct advertising to a minimum is ideal but it is ok to use soft sell advertising techniques to promote your products.
The copy in your ezine should helpful information which will be useful to your subscribers. You might wish to include objective articles, product reviews or shorter articles containing useful hints and tipe. Links to your site or to other sites which might be useful to your readers can also be included. These links may come in the form of direct ads or the links may be embedded in the copy of the newsletter or ezine when appropriate.
If you plan to utilize a newsletter or ezine to promote your products, you should consider hiring a professional copywriter to create the content for your website. This will help to ensure you are providing your subscribers with quality content. Additionally, if you intend to include graphics, you should have a graphic designer assist you to ensure vyour newsletter is professionally put together.
